144 PARROT. 



One supposed to be the female, had the head, neck, and under 

 parts yellow ; the rest as in the male. 



Inhabits New-Holland. One of the latter was alive, and in the 

 possession of Mrs. Bligh. 



50 — CHLOROTIC PARROT. 



SIZE of the last ; length fourteen inches or more. Bill pale ; 

 irides hazel ; plumage on the head, upper parts of the body, wings, 

 and tail, pale greenish yellow, shafts of the feathers white ; throat 

 and breast pale red, growing deeper on the belly and vent, so as to 

 appear quite red, but the feathers of the last margined with dull 

 yellow at the ends, appearing like crescents ; rump tinged with red ; 

 tail cuneiform, greenish yellow, with a light tinge of scarlet at 

 the end ; legs black. 



Inhabits New South Wales, met with far to the southward : one 

 was brought to England alive, and in the possession of Mrs. King. 

 It was fed with wheat, of which it seemed very fond. — I suspect the 

 two last described to be allied to each other, as is perhaps the sulphur 

 Parrakeet of Shaw's Zoology : * said to be fifteen inches long ; 

 colour uniformly pale, or sulphur yellow, deeper on the back ; and 

 to be described and figured by Levaillant from a specimen in the 

 collection of Levden. 



51— YELLOW MACCAW PARROT. 



LENGTH fourteen inches. Bill and legs pale brown ; the upper 

 mandible large, and under very stout, as in the various Maccaws ; 



* Zool. Vol. viii. 42S.— Dr. Shaw does not say the plate or toI. in Levaillant ; but adda, 

 that this author considers it to be a Tariety of the Rose-ringed Parrot.
